I absolutely agree - there seems to be little to no correspondence between aging, earnings, and store turnover, as well as that oddity with pets being expensive for NO reaction.

I also think the "puzzle" items (tape, plaster, etc.) need to be more regularly available - I have one family who are near death and still haven't seen a pump, a roll of tape, or a floor repair kit. and what's with that floor kit? 3 areas of damage, and you need a *separate* kit for each one? given that the kit appears every blue moon or less - not good.
